WOMAN ROBBED because Chief THREATENED HER WITH ARREST if she EXERCISED HER RIGHTS
After all, his (MPD Chief) threat was directed at any/all individuals within the city of Madison, so she didn't carry because of her FEAR of the POLICE and look where that got her. Now the goblin knows where she lives, probably has access to her bank, credit cards, schedule, everything that was in that computer.
The goblin can come calling on her again anytime and she STILL won't be able to defend herself because of her FEAR of the POLICE.
